Royal Society of Chemistry


The Royal Society of Chemistry has a small online shop, mainly selling books, as well as journals and subscriptions.

I think the two most interesting and unusual books are the Chemistry and Biology of Winemaking and Kitchen Chemistry.

"Someone once said that 'wine is a mixture of chemistry, biology and psychology'. It has certainly fascinated people over the centuries and without a doubt been enjoyed by many. Indeed, from its serendipitous roots as an attempt to store fruit, wine has been woven into the fabric of society; from its use in religion to today's sophisticated products sampled over a meal."

Sadly, not really very much as yet in the games section and general cultural artefacts, however there is a 550-piece Visual Elements Jigsaw puzzle.

The RSC also has an extensive Image Library that you can browse online and order reproductions, but there are no prices so this has to be done by request or just pop in to Burlington House.
